Hatton Garden jewellery robbery

The Hatton Garden jewellery heist is believed to be one of the largest in British history. Police say between 60 and 70 safety deposit boxes – with a value now estimated at £35million – were prised open by a gang of crooks, breaking into the vault at Hatton Garden Safety Deposit Ltd on Bank Holiday Monday after disabling the alarms. The robbers made off with thousands of pounds worth of jewels after breaking through a wall and abseiling down a lift shaft into the building where the safety deposit boxes are kept.
